His gothic and decadent works of the 1890s concluded that the lifting of this veil could lead to madness, sex, or death, and usually a combination of all three. From the beginning of his literary career, he espoused a mystical belief that the humdrum ordinary world hid a more mysterious and strange world beyond. This led to his first major success, The Great God Pan. Around 1890, Machen began to publish in literary magazines, writing stories influenced by the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, some of which used gothic or fantastic themes. In 1884, he published the pastiche The Anatomy of Tobacco, and secured work with the publisher and bookseller George Redway. He is also well known for his leading role in creating the legend of The Angels of Mons (1915).
